No one is going to read past the first couple of lines of this post because they don't want to have to put a puzzle together to figure out what you are saying.

Maybe they are still on pain meds? I remember iggychic had some pretty wild posts when she was loopy from meds. :-).

I understood what you were saying but I agree with everyone else about the spelling.

Anyways, you gain weight from the IV that they put in you, but it should go away. Walk as much as you can and try to sip on Water, Protein, and liquids throughout the day. It's so hard to drink Water the first few days (I was there lol) but just keep trying. Maybe sugar free Popsicles and sugar free Jello might help as well.

Good luck! And don't be afraid to ask for help on here when you need it. Somethings seem stupid but most likely someone has been through it : )

Based on the way this user typed the date I am guessing they are not from the US, so the decoding may take a bit :)

Looks like OP is very young. It's a type of shorthand used a lot in text & twitter where characters are limited. It's their preference I guess, but if they would like people to read what they type, then it should be typed in long form rather than shorthand.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
